Silicone sealant for head gasket suggestion?

Postby mx5lover » Thu Jul 25, 2013 6:08 pm

Hi guys,
I just wondering which silicone sealant should I use
to seal head(cam cover) gasket. I was using this http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online ... ab-Reviews before,
But I found it is too hard and brittle. I want something flexible that
can seal the gasket properly.
cheers

Go to SupaRepcoBarn and ask for RTV.

You only need a few dabs of RTV at the specified points.
